Lewis Ludlow

Lewis Ludlow (1992-), also known as Ali Hussain, was a British Islamic State sympathizer. Born in Rochester, Kent, England, he took part in a 2010 Islamist demonstration led by Anjem Choudary and his al-Muhajiroun group; he was also associated with Michael Adebowale and Junaid Hussian. He was arrested in 2015, and IS material was found on his electronic devices, but no further action was taken. In January 2018, he attempted to travel to the Philippines to meet up with IS members, but he was arrested. When arrested, he claimed that he was going to the Philippines as a sex tourist, but, on 10 August 2018, he admitted that he had been planning to hire a van and hit pedestrians and also targeted Madame Tussauds and St. Paul's Cathedral.
